GIVE & GROW SCHOLARSHIPS
At the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation, we recognize that it takes a huge team to support patient care at our hospital. Every staff member plays a valuable role in healthcare delivery, even those who do not interact with patients directly. The RIH Foundation is committed to supporting the personal development and career goals of all RIH staff.
The Give & Grow Scholarship Educational Fund supports professional development for RIH employees by providing scholarships for participation in courses, conferences and workshops which advance job knowledge, skills and qualifications which ultimately contribute to excellence in patient care.
